As a lazy worker who lacked ambition, Shu Shu never expected to die while casually watching a show and transmigrate into the spirit beast of the female lead in a fantasy novel she had just finished...
Unlike all the cities we had passed along the way, Anson City, located in the Bert Desert, looked particularly dilapidated.
Low city walls, light clothing, small mud houses, and a seemingly endless yellow desert, with scorching air.
All of this tells everyone that this is the Bert Desert, another dangerous place on the Rainy Continent.
Compared to the Blazing Volcano, the Bert Desert is actually more dangerous, with a much higher mortality rate.
After all, the Fiery Light Volcano can at least help people find their way by its overlapping layers of volcanoes. As long as cultivators don't venture into the inner perimeter, their survival rate is quite high.
However, the Bert Desert does not offer this advantage. In the boundless desert, without a familiar person or a desert camel to guide you, you will completely lose your way if you venture a little deeper.
In addition, there are mirages, sandstorms, and various poisonous spirit beasts hiding under the desert. If you are not careful, you will perish in the vast desert.
As a result, just like the original Baizhang City, these cities on the edge of the Bert Desert have also spawned countless practitioners.
There are guides who lead teams into the desert, and there are businesses that sell or rent camel-like animals.
There are also mercenaries who specialize in taking orders to and from the desert, charging fees based on the depth of the desert they enter and the level of danger in the areas they traverse.
However, the reason why Shushu and Luli stayed overnight in Anxun City was not to find these people. They simply stayed because it was extremely dangerous to enter the desert after dark.
Furthermore, Anson City is the closest city to the Bert Desert, although it is small.
However, there are still many special products of the Bert Desert here, such as poisonous spirit beasts, desert minerals, and spirit plants that grow in desert oases.
Regardless of the type, they are extremely rare and scarce outside, with prices but no market.
Now that they were all here, even though time was a bit tight, none of the fellow disciples wanted to miss this rare opportunity.
Since they arrived at an inopportune time not at the best time to enter the desert, they decided to stay overnight in Anson City.
Therefore, after entering the city, the first thing the senior and junior disciples did was not to find an inn to stay in, but to go to the city's market and start a shopping spree.
Of course, they were also careful. They never revealed their true appearance from the beginning, and even disguised themselves several times, changing their appearance every time they made a large purchase.
Only when they felt they had bought enough did they revert to their original state upon entering the city and stroll off to find an inn to stay at.
Because of their recent actions, word has spread that a group of generous guests have arrived in the city, and everyone is looking for them to see which spendthrifts are so rich.
They were all hoping to scam themselves out of some money as well, which would be even better.
Therefore, those who were wholeheartedly looking forward to discussing those spendthrift sons no longer paid as much attention to Lu Li and Shushu.
And so, the two brothers and sisters successfully pulled off a big heist right under everyone's noses.
They checked out and left Anson City early the next morning. Those who had waited all night but hadn't seen the big fat sheep realized that the person might have been in disguise.
They then turned their attention to the new faces, wanting to see who was secretly buying the items behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, as the first stop outside the Bert Desert, Anson City saw countless unfamiliar faces coming and going every day. These people waited for several days but failed to find the right person, so their efforts were put on hold.
Meanwhile, the fellow disciples who had already entered the Bert Desert were also gradually venturing deeper.
Along the way, we occasionally encountered other people or groups, but these people were very smart and did not choose to attack. Instead, they kept a distance and did not disturb each other.
Lu Li was quite satisfied with this; without the bothersome flies, he was happy to be free.
Finally, after thinking it over, in order to get rid of these strange troubles completely, he simply released the aura of a high-level divine beast.
Those poisonous spirit beasts that were hiding under the desert, secretly spying and ready to strike at any moment, were so frightened that they stayed as far away as possible and dared not come near them at all.
The only thing that bothered Lu Li was the occasional sandstorm that would occasionally strike from the sky.
When the yellow sand, led by the tornado, swept in from all directions, it indeed made it difficult for Lu Li to move an inch.
Even in order to avoid being sucked away by him and becoming one of the many randomly flying things in the sky, he had to try his best to bury himself until the storm was over before daring to emerge.
Although buried under sand and dust, he and Shushu were both able to breathe normally.
But every time you encounter this, you have to bury yourself alive. Just thinking about this kind of experience is truly horrible.
So, after being tormented for a while, Lu Li simply dived down into the desert and caught a Sun Scorpion King, which then carried them through the underground passage.
The Scorpion King initially refused, but Lu Li gave it a good beating and beat it into submission. Only then did it reluctantly carry Lu Li and Shushu.
During this time, he kept making small moves, trying to trick Lu Li and Shushu, but he was always caught and Lu Li would beat him up. Every time, he would break something here or there.
After several attempts, they finally managed to subdue the Fiery Sun Scorpion King with a single punch, completely subduing it. The Fiery Sun Scorpion King dared not cause trouble again, and led them forward quickly while crying all the way.
It can only be said that the Scorpion King of the Sun truly lives up to its reputation as a native of the Bert Desert. Under its protection, not only do the spirit beasts of the Bert Desert dare not provoke it, but its speed is also extremely fast.
The journey that should have taken ten days to half a month was compressed by him, and in just five days, Lu Li was sent to the innermost part of the Bert Desert.
